Dharmendra: The Last Lion of Indian Cinema Dharmendra: The Last Lion of Indian Cinema In loving memory of Dharmendra Singh Deol (8 December 1935 – 24 November 2025) There are actors, there are stars, and then there are beings like Dharmendra — men so impossibly charismatic, so breathtakingly human, so rooted in grace and old-world dignity that cinema feels like it was invented to frame their faces. When Dharmendra breathed his last on 24 November 2025, an entire era exhaled with him. The screen dimmed. The sound softened. And the nation realised that the last lion of Hindi cinema had walked into eternity. Dharmendra was not simply a name. He was a feeling — of warmth, strength, mischief, romance, and unshakeable loyalty. For six decades he stood at the centre of Indian cinema like a pillar carved out of sunlight and steel. Handsome in a way that was almost unfair, tender in a way that felt almost unreal, he made entire generations...

Oh Malaysia, What Happened to Us? 🇲🇾 Oh Malaysia, What Happened to Us? A Reflection We Can No Longer Run From By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ There was a time when Malaya was not just land. It was a sacred promise . A promise that people of different colours, languages, and faiths could come together to build a nation worthy of being called home. From the Indians who built the estates, roads and railways… To the Sikh regiments who guarded our towns as police and soldiers… To the Malays who fed the nation through agriculture and governance… To the Chinese who drove commerce, trade and growth… These were not just contributions. These were the bones, muscles, and heartbeat of a nation being born. This was the backbone that carried Malaya into Malaysia. So what happened to that backbone? What happened to the unity that once held us upright? We lived as one. We ate at the same keda...

When Memory Fades, Love Must Grow Stronger ❤️ When Memory Fades, Love Must Grow Stronger A personal reflection on dementia, family, and the responsibility we carry with our hearts. There is a moment in every child’s life when the roles quietly reverse. The hands that once held us… now tremble. The voice that once guided us… becomes unsure. And the parents who once knew every path home… suddenly lose their way. Dementia is not just a medical condition. It is a slow unravelling of time — for them and for us. Over the past years, I’ve seen glimpses of this through my own mother. Some days, she is the strong woman I grew up with — sharp, loving, dignified. Other days, she repeats the same sentence three times, or forgets why she entered a room. And as a son, that breaks me more than I can put into words. But what keeps her safe, what keeps her protected, and what keeps her loved … is not me alon...

Why Giving Lightens Our Souls 🌿 Why Giving Lightens Our Souls: A Story of Love, Family, and Purpose In life, there are moments when our hearts feel full — not because of what we receive , but because of what we give . Helping others has a strange way of lighting our own path. It fills our homes with warmth and our souls with calm. It is in giving that we truly receive — peace, meaning, and joy. 💛 When the World Stood Still — and Hearts Moved During the COVID-19 pandemic, the world froze. Streets were empty, but hearts were open. Without thinking twice, many of us rushed out — masks on, hearts pounding — to deliver food, rice, milk, and hope. We didn’t do it for fame or recognition. We did it because we felt the pain of others. Because hunger and fear are universal languages. Because compassion is contagious — and it starts with one act of kindness. “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth.” — Muhammad Ali 🎄 The Spirit of Giving Nev...
